This is how patriotism should be, 5 October 2002
9/10
Author: Kamal Gupta (CAMKG) from Brampton, Ontario

I didn't have very high expectations from the film. But the very first scene got me a little curious watching an Indian officer using the computer to file some sort of a report. Our films always depict the Indian law enforcing agencies as primeval in their thinking, capability and resources. This film shatters all three myths. The film itself seems to be the main protagonist rather than any particular character. The story is very very interesting, especially the whole havala transaction. Danny and Gulshan Grover give good performances as do Milind Soman and Sushant Singh. I found debutante Dipannita Sharma to be a revelation for being in the thick of things rath er than just being thick in the head as most Hindi film heroines are. The 'Dil Mera Ek Tara' track is superb and nicely integrated into the film. The only drawback I can think of is the whole Aditi Govitrikar angle to the plot. That should have either not been there or at least rewritten. But Mani Shankar presents the real ideal patriotism: practical and intelligent. A well-deserved 9/10.
